Eastern Iowa Man Gets Big Lottery Luck Before St. Patrick’s Day

Have you ever wondered if there is indeed a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow? Well, for this guy in Eastern Iowa, I bet it feels like it.

Heading into St. Patrick's Day weekend, you hope to find some luck or that pot of gold. If you're in Illinois, probably looking for the pot but that's a story for April. One way to see how lucky you are is by playing some games with the Iowa Lottery.

A man from Davenport did that and found his Irish luck just in time for St. Patrick's Day.

Congrats to Timothy Milburn of Davenport who won the first $100,000 top prize in the Iowa Lottery's newest scratch game, according to the Iowa Lottery.

Timothy purchased his winning "20X" scratch game at Hy-Vee, 4064 E. 53rd St. in Davenport. He claimed his prize Friday at the lottery's regional office in Cedar Rapids, just in time for St. Patrick's Day weekend. Milburn's big win comes less than two weeks after 20X debuted.

We don't have a picture of Timothy showing off his big winnings since in Iowa you can't remain anonymous, but you don't have to be photographed. Timothy isn't the only big winner lately to take that option but it would be cool to see some big smiles!
